Excel 2003 VBA problem - extracting and emailing worksheets

The macro/VBA coding below is an adaptation of Ron de Bruins macro for
extracting certain sheets from a workbook and creating another
workbook which is then emailed to an address from Outlook Contact list
or to specified addresses.

My problem is that one of the sheets I wish to email has many
thousands of entries and all I really need is a blank worksheet with
the correct columns and headings. This worksheet will subsequently be
completed by employees and then emailed back to be imported back into
the main workbook. The other worksheets need to retain all their
information as they are lists for a series of dropdown selection
lists.

I do not want to "blank" the worksheet before it is exported/copied to
the new sheet as there is a fear that if the macro crashes then all
data in the main workbook will be lost.

Can anyone advise how I can just export the sheet
"HoursWorkedexpenses" still as part of the array but with no
information other than the column headings.

I cannot get my head round this problem

Thanks for any advice

Add another sheet to your workbook.
Name it something like HourWorkedexpenses_new. Put your headings on it.
Send that sheet instead of HourWorkedexpenses...

You are a gem??!!

I have been pondering how to do this for 24 hours and never thought
that something could be so simple.

I really have been having a bad blockage the last few days

Thanks once again for the time and effort

BJ
